The BBC said it pulled a new documentary detailing Ozzy Osbourne’s final years just hours before it was due to air at the behest of his family.

Seventeen days later, the Black Sabbath singer and heavy metal pioneer died at his home surrounded by his family, aged 76.

The film documents Ozzy’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease and his preparations for Black Sabbath’s final show, Back to the Beginning, which took place just weeks before Ozzy’s death.
